A Message from the A Message from the President/CEO Every day at Community Bridges, I am personally inspired by the hard work and dedication our staff puts forth to reduce the negative impact of alcoholism and drug addiction on our communities, and especially on our young people. Tens of thousands of lives were transformed this year by Community Bridges working closely with our Healthcare Partners (Regional Behavioral Health Authorities) Magellan Health Services, Cenpatico Behavioral Health, NARBHA- Northern Arizona Regional Behavioral Health Authority, and CPSA- Community Partnership of Southern Arizona. Over the past 14 years as President and CEO of this compassionate organization, I have had the distinct pleasure to work with our dynamic Board of Directors, our tireless executive leadership team, and hundreds of dedicated professionals who work selflessly to provide help and hope to those we serve. Today, Community Bridges employs over 450 individuals in programs providing services at 14 locations across the State of Arizona. During FY 2009-2010, CBI experienced another year of growth by expanding our services to Yuma County, and here in Maricopa County by expanding our capacity to offer housing opportunities, outpatient medical detoxification, and increased outpatient services for women. In 2010, our services have reached farther than ever before thanks in a large measure to the vision and support of the Magellan leadership team (led by Dr. Richard Clarke) and Cenpatico s forward looking leadership (Terry Stevens, CEO and Jay Gray, COO). Our clinicians provided emergency Crisis Care services to 20,034 men and women, while a total of 4,057 adults received lifesaving Medical Detoxification treatment services. Our Outpatient Behavioral Health Programs served 2,964 individuals at six different locations providing integrated services for individuals with co occurring disorders. The launch of our four Rural Stabilization Recovery Units (SRU s) in Payson, Globe, Winslow, and Holbrook have become an integral part of their respective communities, and a once unmet need, served 6,265 men and women this past year. The Center for Hope continues to be recognized as a national model best practice long-term residential treatment program dedicated to changing the lives of pregnant women and saving the lives of their babies. As I write this letter, we anticipate the birth of the 120th baby born to healthy women in strong recovery. We ve also been extremely active in Prevention. Our Prevention team delivered valuable services to over 30,000 youth and adults this year alone. All of these clinical and education programs are supported by an army of site managers, finance, maintenance, housekeeping, landscaping, and transportation specialists who keep our programs on target 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I am extremely proud of each of our employees. Every day I look back and I m amazed at the important work each of our hardworking staff members have performed and I look forward to tomorrow with the knowledge that Community Bridges will be here throughout Arizona changing individual lives and saving generations. To each of our employees, my personal thanks You are important, Your jobs are important, YOU are Community Bridges. Dr. Frank Scarpati President/CEO CBI 2010 Annual Report 5
